Help! Where Am I?

Dear Technology Class,

I am staying at the Hilton on 6th street right across from the conference center, but a terrible thing has happened! I've forgotten what city I'm in!

Please figure out where I am (I have no idea how you're going to do it, but I'm sure you'll find a way) and post a map on your blog showing me how to get from my hotel to the nearby PF Chang's restaurant. I've heard it's delicious, but I need your help.


It's warm here (I'm sitting on the hotel balcony writing this blog challenge while my wife reads on the settee next to me) and I can see a palm tree across the road. People here talk without hurrying and smile a lot, and they seem proud to inhabit the largest of the continental United States.

Help!

I'm getting hungry for PF Chang's! And could you post a picture of some of the food I might get there, too? It might be two or three posts on your blog--if you really do it right you might have several maps of the city and some other information for me to read.

Oh, and one more thing: I'm going to have some of the teachers here looking at your webpages with me to see what a fine gang of middle schoolers you are. I'm already proud of your blogs, but you might want to spiff them up a tad to be ready. If your link is missing from my teacher blog, just email me with it. Would it help you find my email if I told you my own blog is online at http://blog.edtech2020.com?

Thanks again in advance. Hope you're having as much fun as I am!

Mr. Chase

Wisdom Tooth Sub Plans 1/30/08

Hi Guys!

After EVERYONE in the room has uploaded files to MediaFire and linked to them from the blog (both the XLS spreadsheet and the DOC popcan label), then go to these two sites and compare them. I want you to create something in one or the other and embed it into your blog--and tell me which of the two you prefer.

Shopping with Uncle Albert and the EduWise Grant

Could we do Scratch?

I was poking around online and found this game-making tool. I don't know if it's something we'll do as a class, but it looks fun:
